The first victim of the Bulli rapist has called on Illawarra residents to support her in a campaign to keep him under supervision for the rest of his life.

The woman, who was just 13 at the time of the horrific and brutal attack, said she hoped a public campaign would be enough to convince the Supreme Court to extend Terry John Williamson’s parole period indefinitely.

The 38-year-old mother approached the Mercury on Monday, four days after Williamson’s maximum 24-year prison sentence expired. The sentence imposed in 1990 was longer than many sentences handed down to murderers.

The serial rapist terrorised the Illawarra for 10 months brutally attacking 11 victims, including a five-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy in 1989 and 1990.

Armed with a knife and wearing a black balaclava, Williamson broke into homes and attacked his victims or abducted them from their bedrooms or the side of the road.

His first victim told the Mercury that since being raped she had been tormented every day of her life with horrific flashbacks and nightmares.

It is the first time the victim has spoken to the media. She said she felt compelled to contact the Mercury because she feared he would rape again.

Williamson, she said, had destroyed her life and he should not be allowed to go free to live the rest of his days in peace. She added that the former truck driver had shown no remorse for his crimes and she strongly believed he would reoffend.

Williamson pleaded guilty to the sexual assaults after his arrest in 1990. At the time the court heard he had a high libido and that the attacks were something he just couldn’t help. Williamson has been ordered to take anti-libidinal drugs designed to reduce libido, sexual activity and fantasies.

Last week a NSW Supreme Court judge agreed to place Williamson, now 44, under a 28-day interim supervision order at the request of the NSW Attorney-General’s Department.

Williamson was released from prison two years ago under the supervision of Corrective Services. The court heard that his parole program was set up to stop him reoffending.

The interim order prohibits him from contacting his victims or entering the Illawarra.

He must also wear an electronic bracelet, abstain from alcohol and other drugs and stay away from weapons, pornography and anyone under 18. His use of the internet or social networks will also be closely monitored. Williamson will remain under supervision until June when the Supreme Court will again consider the matter.
